Admiral 5A32 Bakelite Clock Radio (1952)

This was the first plastic radio I ever bought, and it's probably what got me started on the whole radio collecting kick. It's very attractive, with its metal front and trim on a dark brown bakelite. I found it in the attic of an antique shop, and purchased it for $12. The case is in beautiful shape, and all the clock-radio knobs are there (many times, the small clock knobs are gone).

The radio also worked fine as found. The radio comes in strong with no hum or distortion. The clock seems to work only sporadically, but I can live with that.
